Bought these pellets at Home Depot on sale for $4.60 — are these any good?
I bought these today at the Home Depot. They were on clearance for $4.60 for a 20 lbs. bag. I brought the last two. Has anyone tried these? Are they any good? I didn’t open the bag yet. I thought I’ll asked the pros here before I open the bag.
If I get positive comments, I plan to use these in my Weber Searwood 600 XL.
Made cedar plank smoked salmon and the kids actually ate seconds
First brisket and it was a ride!
Finally worked my way up to a brisket. 9.5lbs seemed good. I’ve done a number of smokes before but wow this one was it. Super smoked for 10 hours and then up to 250F. 2 hours in the hot rod went out and had to finish in the oven. Let me know what I could improve on. I wish my bark was darker but dammit it was juicy, delicious, and tender as hell.
First Time Pork Butt
Turned out pretty good. I'm going to have to add some additional seasoning to it as I continue shredding it.
8.6 pound butt. Kinders The Blend. First 3 hours at 180 (smoke boost), then 250 until probe hit 165, foil boated and cranked the temp up to 275.
I had a foil pan with water under it until the foil boat.
Searwood XL.
Scored a deal!
Decided to check my local Walmart just to see. Low and behold i found the Weber Smoque XL with a clearance deal that said $600. Told the assistant that I'd like to purchase one, as she scans the sticker, she say "Oh, it's actually $416" i said oh lord thank you, I'll purchase it right now!
Porch pro vs patio legend
I was torn between Weber and Recteq - mostly because i can go get the searwood locally but after reading ton of reviews I think I’ve settled on Recteq. The next dilemma is which model. I don’t really need the extra space of the legend , but it has WiFi and is only $100 more…is it a no brainer to go with the legend or is wifi just something that’s going to break and not necessary? I like the idea of being able to check it while out of the house.
